Only 1 Month To Go... (Actually, make that a few days)

Still sub 1k mileage?

Yep, 796 miles - now SORN'ed and in dehumidified storage, after having a full engine-out check over and service by Scott, including cam & aux belt, waterpump, all fluids and filters changed etc. Will be started up once a month and be subject to gentle exercise.

Thanks Shaun.

Yes, Scott did mention something to that effect but I couldn't place exactly where it was.

Very nice pics those :)

Thanks Ed. Forgot that I had been sent these pics whilst the Vee was at Scott's - no idea where the photos were taken though. Is the resolution high enough for your purposes?

Feel free to PM me any pics that you want to submit mate. Ideally not ones that have been posted before :)

Aah, that is all I have at the moment, and doubt I will be able to get any before the deadline.

Understand, but not sure whether you know that I have #002, to drive and have fun with/in..............but that too will be SORN'ed until next summer due to the imminent arrival of another toy very soon.

EDIT: Toy is here now! [smilie=yay.gif]
 
I think this LY in years to come is going to be the one collectors want!

Out of interest Dulan, what condition was the belts in after such low milage? Was there any signs of perishing or was it like new?

I hope it will be Colin, but not sure I will sell for quite a while though.............

As regards the belts, I haven't physically seen them as yet , but will do on Friday (31st) when I drop #002 off at Scott's, but here is a photo of the belts before they were replaced - the "writing" is still visible towards the bottom (you need to zoom in). Note that the engine was still "dirty" when this photo was taken - it's since been cleaned up by Scott.

The belts, as indeed the whole car, were in an "as new" condition, but as with all my motors, I start from a known base - makes it a lot easier years on down the line.
